Miguel,
Based upon my very limited Spanish, and skimming the titles, these look
like excellent case studies.
Do you think these would be any chance of encouraging the responsible
departments to translate to English?
The business case for a sponsor is that sponsoring a Case Study will
greatly increase the chance that other agencies will also migrate to
Open Source, which in turns means these agencies will invest in Open
Source which is good for all Open Source users.

Hello Cameron,
In Spain there are several case studies.
Valencian Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is under a project of migrating "all" systems to open-source software[1]. As a matter of fact, that was the reason to build gvSIG[2]. All geospatial infrastructure (previously with ESRI) has been moved to open source (gvSIG, PostGIS, MapServer, deegree, geoNetwork opensource).[2]
Hydrographic Confederation of Guadalquivir river (Spain). A migration of a big part of ESRI components to open-source has been made, with use of gvSIG, Geonetwork opensource, MapServer, GeoServer, deegree [3]

Sorry [3] is in Spanish.
I can provide more if you need.

Hi, not sure about the time zones involved in Gary replying...I think
he is referring to:

Gary, please correct me if I am wrong ;)

Yes Gary, that would be great.
Do you know where we can find information about this?
